[Phpmyadmin-devel] Support of older PHP/MySQL
by Robin Johnson 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hi, Presently, we still write out code in such a way that it should work with older releases of PHP and MySQL, however, I think we should conduct a survey to see what versions are in wide use. If a lot of people are tending to the newer versions of PHP/MySQL, then supporting them better is for us, but if they still use old PHP/MySQL widely, then we need to support them. One of the features that this effects crucially is using SHOW GRANTS to fix bug #474575. Could one of the people with the main project administration rights please give me access to set up a survey? While you are at it, could I get administor access to the Trackers, so that I could set up the category and group information data to make our life using the trackers easier? I think this would be very important, so that we can properly seperate the existing bugs under the 2.2 tree with the bugs that are going to crop up under the 2.3 tree. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

Hi List! >Loic or Marc: could you please inform me what has been done >with the CVS, as last I saw, there was some discussion about >it. I'm sorry but if won't have much free time till the end of the week ie I might just be able to work on little things from time to time :( Please debate without me about whether to branch or not. I'll do what you want.

Hi Robin & List! >Rather than support the old file format, I will ask a friend >that does a lot of regex replacement strings if there is a >perl s/// command we can use to convert the existing config >file they have to the new format. Tht's not a so good idea: preg is an optionnal module for php3, that's why we use only regexp in the whole code. Moreover I'm pretty sure it's a hardest work for the server to parse the file using regexp or preg than including a file with some basic tests and affectsations.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Delisle" <DelislMa(a)CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> > Should we really support the old config file format? common.lib.php3 would get really big if we did so... I'd like to create a new file that would be included this way: if (!isset($cfg)) require('config_import.lib.php3'); I could put all the old backwards compatibility code here. imho we should support the old file format because the difference between the old and the new format isn't that big.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] DB-based configuration
by Robin Johnson 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

Greetings everybody, Now that my finals are over, the first set of changes are going to be underway for the DB-based configuration mechanisms. The one major change that needs to put into the existing code revolves around how we deal with the configuration variable names. Presently in config.inc.php3 we have some code like this: $cfgServers[$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfgServerDefault = 1; etc. For writing the configuration mechanism, I would like to move everything to an array such as $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1; Instead, and then I can implement the entire configuration mechanism transparently inside a library function, that is called at startup to handle anything that needs to be done. Unfortunetly, there are ~760 instances of '$cfg', so this change is going to take a while, and ideally we would want to have this change well settled and in place to implement the configuration mechanism, as it _WILL_ break things if it is only partially implemented. Is somebody else willing to help me on this? -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

For those working on the configuration change you may find this command helpful to track down places where you have not yet fixed things: egrep "\\\$cfg[[:alpha:]]" * -c Loic or Marc: could you please inform me what has been done with the CVS, as last I saw, there was some discussion about it. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

>We once had 2 branches for this projects Not at all, Marc! We have had two TREES, not two branches. I understand better why you do not the idea now.

>imho we should open a bugfix branch where we only commit >really important bugfixes that don't go too deep into the >code, like the russian laguage file for instance. That's what I was thinking about yesterday. Use HEAD for the current dev. of the 2.3.0 release and a branch only for bugfixes. >And in a few weeks, we'll release it as 2.2.7 and close >the branch. If you have not time to work on a second brach, >it doesn't matter. It's not necessary that we all work on the >bugfix branch, Loïc and me could do it (is it all right for >you, Loïc?)... Yep! But all dev. should be aware that they have to commit to the HEAD only (default cause) while MFH to the bugfix branch is only required for bugfixes of the 2.2.6.
